ABSTRACT

A human resource networking system, which is a novel method establishing a business system for locating, identifying, promoting and assisting in the employing of career project workers in the non-career workforce, includes a Relational Database comprising an Inductive Credit Matrix containing People Elements, Places Elements, Projects Elements, and Things Elements derived from People Information, Places Information, Project Elements, and Things Elements; a plurality of Credit Constructs each of which is formed by associating two or more of the People Elements, the Places Elements, the Projects Elements, and the Things Elements and stored in the Inductive Credit Matrix of the Relational Database; and a Display Device for outputting Credit Bytes generated by combining the Credit Constructs upon query.

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of Invention

[0002] This invention relates in general to a computer-based databasesystem, and more particularly to a human resource networking system andmethod thereof, which is a computer-based data integration andmanagement processing system and a method for project workforcelocating/identifying, and occupational reports generating conjunctivesentences of industry credits.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Arts

[0004] A few years back, government officials stunned the entertainmentindustry with the pronouncement that those working in entertainmentcould experience a life expectancy shorter than those mining for coal!While investigative actuaries may point to a professionals life style,some entertainment professionals point to the industry's work cycle; aproject orientated industry where one's employment services aregenerally terminated when the project's developing work cycle iscompleted. This style of career working is no doubt the genesis to theindustry axiom, which states “ . . . You're only as good as your lastjob!”

[0005] The industry of entertainment is a career whose full timeoccupation is working temporarily on developing projects. Whether itsten days, ten months or ten years, tenure depends generally on consumeracceptance, the politics of working in a closed system, and the luck ofthe draw. Staying employed in the industry does require a mode ofcontinuous work readjustment. The amount of time one devotes tonetworking, looking for leads, addresses, phone numbers, checking outthe possibilities for future work, is usually reflected in the amount oftime one spends networking for that next gig! Perhaps this is one of theunderlying reasons which contribute to the early death of an industryprofessional.

[0006] Besides the entertainment industry, most of the professional orother human resource industries have the above unsolved problems.Interestingly enough, there is no one system currently available forthis networking chore of locating work for industry talent, and no onesystem used for identifying such talent; keeping records of address,phone numbers and points of contact for the industry talent. And of thevarious systems that do exist, they do so at the exclusion of others.

[0007] In reality, the present workforce system is a closed system. Forexample, www.thelink.com is an existing closed entertainment workforcesystem for union members only is not relational and doe not trackindustry places and things used in industry projects. Also their creditsare not automatically generated with relational qualities as are thecredits of this invention.

[0008] Additionally in times like these, with a society being mobilized,we see talent moving around as never before, changing addresses andphone numbers, a location that's constantly changing as they move aroundlooking and working for that next gig.

[0009] Presently, production sources for work are beginning to moveabout also! Going to areas previously thought too remotewww.universalstudios.com. Additionally we are now seeing new productionareas popping up outside these United States, a work-sourcesophisticated with the latest modes of technology working with aworkforce doing business the old fashioned way of personal networking.The reason, present sources in the industry desire to keep the presentsystem closed, may soon become invalid.

[0010] Also the world economy now seems unbalanced making it possiblefor one part of the world to experience recession while another partprospers. This phenomenon does give rise for a need to market onesskills and talents abroad in a cost effective manner. Unfortunately, atthis time no human resource system exits with a mission to solve thisworkforce problem.

[0011] Therefore the present system in place for monitoring addressesphones numbers and point of contact for industry talent is orientatedtowards the old fashioned manual way of doing networking by personalsearching using the existing systems of using printed directories likethe LA 411 published by LA 411 publishing company.

[0012] A system performing an incomplete fractionalized inadequate joband a system that does not service the many industries of entertainment.While a few entertainment methods that accommodate these newtechnologies are beginning to spring up www.proaudio.com, they are onlyavailable for a particular industry, as is the case with Pro audio whichlist two of our inventions elements. These services basically specializein one form of media and do not offer a system designed to serve all ofthe entertainment industries, and are not designed to serve the entireentertainment industry as a human resource service as in castnet, whichservices only actors. The www.castnet.com does not track projects and isnon-relational and uses paper style format for their resumes usingtypical credits that are not conjunctive as illustrated in ourinvention.

[0013] They tend to be for autograph seekers and seem to be methods forthe marketing of product www.imdb.com provides information on films andis not a human resource system. And of the existing systems forindustries other than entertainment www.allmusic.com, they too seem tobe focused with purposes of missions not like or mentioned in thisspecification. U.S. Pat. No. 5,197,004 is not designed to work with arelational database and therefore does not have any rules as we use inour invention for updating etc. Therefore the data is not updateablewith the system lacking the ability to learn. Additionally theinformation on the resumes cannot be saved to build a human resourcedatabase, U.S. Pat. No. 5,416,694, this human resource system is notapplicable in that the elements are not similar. Additionally U.S. Pat.No. 5,671,409 is not applicable for a bunch of reasons, the least beingthe elements, is not updateable etc.

[0014] In summary, there does not exist today in the industry ofentertainment a human resource tool for project workers, this is to sayin the locating, identifying for the purpose of obtaining project work.And until such tool is available, the time consuming and expensive artof personal networking continues.

[0015] Therefore, a longstanding need still exists. And that need nowbecomes more acute in the information age of today's technology, theneed for a talent location and identification system which can readilyprovide an economic and convenient location with world wide capabilitiesfor people possessing such specific skills in the human resourceindustry.

[0157] In which, the Input Audit Process 434 is a process for recordinginput and maintenance actions by the input and maintenance process. AnAudit Table 228 is a table that holds information that tracks the inputand maintenance actions that have occurred throughout the life of thesystem. It is used by the Input Audit Process.

[0158] Referring to FIG. 3b, the information is provided for input ineither of two ways: a People Relational or Associative InformationProcess 304, a Places Relational or Associative Information Process 306,a Projects Relational or Associative Information Process 308, and aThings Relational or Associative Information Process 310. If theinformation is relational, it is input into the People RelationalInformation Tables 122, the Places Relational Information Tables 126,the Projects Relational Information Tables 132, and the ThingsRelational Information Tables 136. If the information is Associative, itis input into the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix162.

[0159] The People Relational or Assoicative Information Process is aProcess that receives Associative (Credit Data) and People RelationalInformation 122 from the People 202. This process receives informationfrom People outside the system and passes it to the input process wherethe information is input as Relational Information or Associations ofPeople, Places, Projects, and Things.

[0160] The Places Relational or Associative Information Process 306 is aprocess that receives Associative (Credit Data) and Places RelationalInformation 124 from the Places 204. This process receives informationfrom People outside the system and passes it to the input process wherethe information is input as Relational Information or Associations ofPeople, Places, Projects, and Things.

[0161] The Projects Relational or Associative Information Process 308 isa process that receives Associative (Credit Data) and ProjectsRelational Information 126 from the Projects 216. This process receivesinformation from People outside the system and passes it to the inputprocess where the information is input as Relational Information orAssociations of People, Places, Projects, and Things.

[0162] The Things Relational or Associative Information Process 310 is aprocess that receives Associative (Credit Data) and Places RelationalInformation 128 from the Things 218. This process receives informationfrom Things outside the system and passes it to the input process wherethe information is input as Relational Information or Associations ofPeople, Places, Projects, and Things.

[0163] Referring to FIG. 3c, the Maintain List of Organizations 324process maintains the Organizations 146 according to the OrganizationUpdate Rules 326, the Maintain List of Associative Values 328 processmaintains the Associative Values 116 according to the Associative ValueRules 329, and the Maintain List of Awards 330 process maintains thelist of Awards 114 according to the Awards Rules 331.

[0164] The Maintain The Points in Time Process 424 maintains the Pointin Time Table 118 by updating Point In Time Table 118 whenever there isa change to the Pont In Time Table 118 according to the Point in TimeRules 425. The Input Audit Process 434 is a process for recording inputand maintenance actions by means of the Input and Maintenance Process soas to keep track of all changes to the Relational Databases 100 andperforms a Timestamp of All Events 435, that is to attach the currenttime for any input or maintenance action where time is retrieved fromthe server by the Input Audit 434. The Input Audit 434 updates the InputAudit Table 228. The Maintain the Input Audit 436 process maintains theInput Audit Table 228.

[0165] The Maintain the Press Kit Parameters Process 332, whichmaintains the Press Kit Parameters 160 according to Press KitConstruction Rules 938, is a process for changing the Press KitParameters 160 for a particular Element's Press Kit Report in order toimplement users' preferences for the display of information in theirPress Kit Reports. This is used to change the Press Kit Parameters 160for a particular Element's Press Kit Report, as part of the data entryprocess or in response to user request. Any aspect of a Press Kit Report550 can be customized using said Press Kit Parameters 332, wherein thePress Kit Report 550 is Press Kit/Resume/ Fact Sheet createddynamically. It will display all information that is a direct relationto the main element (People 202, Places 204, Things 218 or Projects216). All associated elements are also reported with their relationalinformation 120 in the respective Project Sentence of Credit Construct.The Press Kit Report is outputted from the Press Kit Generator in theReport Writer 502 in response to Press Kit Requests.

[0166] Referring to FIG. 3d, the Edit and Update the Inductive CreditMatrix Process 386, which is a process for editing and updating theinformation in the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix162, selects the Point In Time 112 from the Point In 15 Time Table 118.This process accepts the Associations from the Input Association InfoProcess and writes to the Inductive Credit Matrix as well as using theValidate Associations Process. The Point in Time 112 is tied to theCredit Construct 199 which forms a Credit Instance 200 in the IndustryCredit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162.

[0167] Referring to FIG. 4a, FIG. 5a, FIG. 6a, and FIG. 7a, theAssociative Values 116 and the People to People Associative Value 196,the Places to Places Associative Value 190, the Projects to ProjectsAssociative Value 194, and the Things to Things Associative Value 192are implemented using a Specific Program 910 for creating LineageAssociation 866 in the input process. Said tables are not part of thenormal Data Input 300 procedure, but are used to create Associations 176between the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218 by theConstruct to Construct Association Method 862.

[0168] Tracking the Affiliations 144 that are related to an element isaccomplished through the Organization Table 146. Maintaining a List ofValid Values is accomplished through the Associative Value Table 116 andthe Awards Table 114. The Data 800 in the Associative Value Table 116 isused in the Industry Credit Inductive Lineage Construct Matrix 162.Predefining Data 800 that can be used to classify People 202, Places204, Projects 216, and Things 218 is also accomplished through theAssociative Value Table 116. Predefining what Awards 220 can be relatedto the People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218 isaccomplished through the Awards Table 220.

[0169] The Tables for Lineage Association 866 are for the People toPeople Associative Value 196, Places to Places Associative Value 190,Projects to Projects Associative Value 194, and Things to ThingsAssociative Value 192. Inputting the ID of two People 202, Places 204,Projects 216, or Things 218 and the Associative Values 116 sets theLineage Association 866 which describes the hierarchy of how the twoelements are associated.

[0170] A Validate Association Process 418, which is used with theAssociation Validation Rules 420 for determining how the Associationsare to be validated, changes to the credit matrix are validated forcorrectness relative to the industry's view of how the informationshould report and any changes to the credit matrix are validated usingthe rules for validation and the rings of authority.

[0171] An Edit and Update People Relational Information Process 344, anEdit and Update Places Relational Information Process 354, an Edit andUpdate Projects Relational Information Process 364, and an Edit andUpdate Things Relational Information Process 374 use the Relation Rules422 when updating the Relational Information 120, wherein the RelationRules 422 are adapted for inputting Relational Information and used inthe People Input Process, Places Input Process, Projects Input Process,and Things Input Process to determine what values of information will beallowed in the database.

[0283] Regarding the Company To Company Maintenance, the users need toestablish what the “reason for the affiliation” is. The users can have“peer to peer” associations which are controlled by the value entered.The users have reserved the following words:

[0284] *Distribution

[0285] Joint Venture

[0286] Collaboration

[0287] Service

[0288] Product

[0289] Internal Distribution would be on “Location” record.

[0290] In establishing the associations, we have the following rules:

[0291] Regarding Supplier/Vendor to Client/Customer, the most commonassociation would appear to be the following:

[0292] Supplier/Vendor to Client/Customer

[0293] If there are Supplier/Client associations in both directions,then you would enter the association twice—once in each direction.

[0294] The associative value in this association would either be“Service” or “Product.”

[0295] It is the fact that it did not want to make a client's vendorlist or customer list available to his competitors. Therefore, a vendorlist or customer list would only be available on special request.

[0296] Regarding the Performing Artists Collaboration, another scenariowould be if two Performing Artists collaborate on a project, we wouldestablish the following association:

[0297] Performing Artist to Performing Artist

[0298] The “associative value” would be “Collaboration.”

[0299] Regarding the Two Companies Doing Business Together, if twoCompanies are doing business together under a Distribution arrangement,we would establish the following association:

[0300] Company to Company

[0301] The “associative value” would be “Distribution.”

[0302] Regarding the Joint Venture, if two Companies are doing a jointventure on a project, we would establish the following association:

[0303] Company to Company

[0304] The “associative value” for this association would be “JointVenture.”

[0305] Regarding the Sample Company Structure, the company would beentered as an Entertainment Company, Manufacturer, Service. TheProduction Locations and Work Areas would be entered as Facilities. TheCompany owns the Production Location and the Production location ownsthe Work Area.

[0306] If accessing the Company, the name is “Company Name”. Ifaccessing the Production Location, the name is “Company Name: ProductionLocation”. If accessing the Work Area, the name is “Production Location:Work Area”.

[0307] The Facilities under Company are:

[0308] Company Name: Production Location A

[0309] Production Location A: Work Area 1

[0310] Production Location A: Work Area 2

[0311] Company Name: Production Location B

[0312] Production Location B: Work Area 1

[0313] Production Location B: Work Area 2

[0314] The Facilities under each Production Location are:

[0315] Production Location A: Work Area 1

[0316] Production Location A: Work Area 2

[0317] The Distribution (external) could be another company or asubsidiary of the current company. The Distribution (internal) would becompany to company with the ID's the same. When the user asks for thecompany sources of distribution the user would get the external andinternal Distribution Company ID. When the user asks for the “ProductionLocation B: work area 2” sources of distribution, the user would onlyget the internal distribution company ID. All other production locationsand work area would not return information about the distribution.

[0318] Regarding New Company configuration, companies would be entered:

[0319] 1. Entertainment Company—Companies involved in the production ofthe project. Example the record label, production company

[0320] 2. Manufacturing Company—Companies that are involved with makingthe things that are used on the project

[0321] 3. Services—Companies that provided support services for theproject; catering company, wardrobe, location scout, distributioncompany

[0322] 4. Facilities—The physical location where that project wasproduced. This would include studios, theaters, shooting location,concert locations.

[0323] A location would be associated to either an Entertainment company(sound studios, back lots, or location where a scene was shot,Manufacturing Company (factory), or Service (distribution company).

[0324] All Facilities must have a parent company. To properly create afacility the user needs the following:

[0325] 1. Create a company record for the company that owns the facility

[0326] 2. Create a Facility record

[0327] 3. Create a company to company association with the value ofowner. (the company is the parent and the facility is the child).

[0328] If the facilities POC is not the parent company then the facilityrecord will have a POC.

[0329] 1. The address in the facility is where it is located

[0330] 2. The name is what it is called

[0331] 3. The type is what it is.

[0332] Facilities would only have telephone numbers if the facility hasa unique POC. The Companies could have an address and telephonenumber—one for POC and one for additional contacts. If these additionalcontacts are locations that belong to the company, they would be enteredas Facilities with a company to company association.

[0333] Reference to the distribution of the manufacturer's product orthe production's product is handled using a company to companyassociation to the company that does the distribution. If the samecompany handles the production and distribution, a company to companyassociation with both companies being the same would be used. If theuser needs to track distribution activity separate from the productionactivity, then the distribution would be handled as a separate company.

[0334] The same would be true for sales, advertisement, marketing, andany other facet of the business that is required to get the product tomarket.

[0335] Regarding the rules for contribution to project values,Facility's contributions are what the facility was used for:

[0336] Example post production, over dubbing, shooting location,production location, live theater

[0337] Company contributions are what the company does:

[0338] Example produced, own

[0339] Regarding the rules for Locations, for definition of location:

[0340] When searching for location. By definition, the user is lookingfor the name of a place that is located in a particular geographicallocation. This place is referred to as a Facility. The following are therules for relating location (address) records to Facility (location)records.

[0341] Projects 216 can only have a POC address that is a contactaddress (locations are denoted using the association to a facility) Ifthe Projects POC is the Production Company then the project does nothave a location (address) record.

[0342] Facilities can have a location address and the POC would defaultto the company or facility. Or the facility can have a location addressand a POC that is a contact address. Or the POC can be the locationaddress.

[0343] Companies can have a contact address, and a location address.Either address can be the POC.

[0344] People can have an address that is their POC plus additionalcontact addresses.

[0345] Things can only have a POC address that is a contact address ifthe POC is not the manufacture.

[0346] When associating a location (address) record to a Facility(location) or Company the following field definitions apply. “LocationAddress” is a valid value that would go in the location type field toshow that this is an address that denotes the geographical location of aplace.

[0347] “Contact Address” is a valid value that would go in the locationtype field to show that this is an address that can be used as a sourceof contact.

[0348] For example (a P.O. Box could be a contact address but not alocation address.) POC can be either a contact address of a locationaddress.

[0349] The location name field is where you would put the name of thecontact. The location name type would be where you would put theidentifier of an individual.

[0350] For example, the name field might be John Smith and the name typewould be Sales Manager

[0351] This could then be displayed as:

[0352] John Smith

[0353] Sales Manger

[0354] 12345 Main Street

[0355] On location type “location address” the user would not have alocation name or type, unless on a Company record the user is using thelocation address as the POC. This also applies if the Facility is theCompany.

[0356] If the POC is on a location address the addressee is the companyname. If the location address is the POC and there is a value in thename field then the name shows as “c/o”. If the POC is on a contactaddress the addressee is the location name field and location name typefield.

[0357] To show the locations involved with the production of a project.The user must associate the project to a Facility (location).

[0358] When you want to create this Facility(location), you create thethree needed records, company, facility, and company to companyassociation. To show that facility is a “shooting location” youassociate facility to a project with the contribution “shootinglocation” (facilities and not shooting locations until they are used asa shooting location).

[0359] Regarding the Shooting Location, a facility (location) is enteredby the name of the facility(location) “6^(th) & main” and the type wouldbe “public street corner” the kind is “facility”. The location recordwould have an address with out a name or type unless the POC was not theowner. This record would then have a company to company association. Theassociated company's name is “City of Los Angeles” the company type is“city municipal” the kind is “service”. The way you know it is ashooting location is through its contribution to a project as “shootinglocation”.

[0360] Regarding the rules for Projects 216, for Series Evolution, theuser has a base cast of significant individuals. The series is enteredby seasons with an association to the theme. The highest level ofassociations is the season series. The base cast is associated to theseason series.

[0361] If a base cast member changes then the new member is associatedto the season series with the character suffixed with replacement or addand the date. When cast or crew member is associated to an episode theyare displayed in addition to the base cast. When displayed, thecharacter will list the original and the replacement or addition. A castor crew replacement is associated to an episode only if the replacementis temporary. The replacement association must be enter for each episodethen they replace the original cast or crew member.

[0362] If the replacement is permanent then the member is associated tothe season series with a character designated as a replacement. Whendisplayed the character will show the original member followed by thereplacement. To designate a member as a replacement for the cast thecharacter is suffixed with the word replacement if the cast member is anaddition to the base crew then the character is suffixed with add andthe date. If the cast member is a replacement to the base cast then thecharacter is suffixed with replacement and the date.

[0363] The crew works the same as the cast except the designations areon the role and not the character. This means on a company record thecredits in the media category will show as follows. Elements that areassociated to multiple season series will display there association asbeing from and to season series.

[0364] For example, if elements are involved only with a particularepisode, then that element is associated only to the episode. Whenreporting the element it shows the credit as the “series: episode” [TVShow: Episode 1] If the element is involved with many episodes then theelement is associated to the series. When reporting the element it showsthe credit as the “series(year)” [TV Show (1999)] Because series aretracked by season. If an element is associated to more then one seasonthen the credit shows as “series(from—to)”. [TV Show(1996-1999)].

[0365] Regarding the rules for Things 218, Things 218 can not be trackedas individual items, and can only be reported as a class representationof the things. This means it is not able to identify who provided anindividual thing used on a project or who manufactured the individualitem. This is because if two companies provided the same type of thing.

[0366] For example, two companies provided Red 66 mustang convertiblesfor a chase scene in a movie. The users can not say which companyprovided which car. When reporting from a things point of view. Thereport would show the companies that create, distribute, and uses thisclass of thing.

[0367] For example, if the user say that Red 66 mustang convertibles wasused on a project. A Red 66 mustang convertibles press kit woulddescribe the things that make it a Red 66 mustang convertible, it wouldlist all of the companies that Manufacture, Distribute, Sale and use Red66 mustang convertibles.

[0368] What we are tracking in the thing relations is:

[0369] A project used a particular type of thing (This project used Red66 mustang convertibles).

[0370] A Company provides (sales, rents, distributes) these type ofthings (These companies rent Red 66 mustang convertibles for use in themovie. We could not say what company rented which Red 66 mustangconvertible.

[0371] A Company Manufactures a particular type of thing (we could saythese companies manufacture Red 66 mustang convertibles. The user couldnot say what company manufactured either of the Red 66 mustangconvertibles used in the movie.

[0372] Regarding the rules for Awards, Related to Award WinningElements, if a project receives an Award then all People and Placesworked on an Award winning project. The People and Places do not have tobe on the same relational record.

[0373] If a Place 204 worked on a project and received an Award fortheir effort on the project, then this Award is then included in thetotal Awards earned for efforts on the project. The relational record isPlace contribution Project. This relation is then assigned to the Award.

[0374] If a Person worked on a project and received an Award for theireffort on the project, then this award is then included in the totalAwards earned for efforts on the project. The relational record isPeople role Project. This relation is then assigned to the Award.

[0375] For a Person to get credit for an Award to a company, the personwould have to be part of the company project relation. The relationalrecord would then read Company contribution Project role Person. Thiswould apply to individuals whose role on the project was the cause ofthe company receiving the Award for the project.

[0376] For a Company to get credit for an Award to a Person, the Companywould have to be part of the People Project relation. The relationalrecord would then read People role Project contribution Company. Thiswould apply to companies whose contribution on the project was the causeof the person receiving the Award for the project.

[0377] For a Project to get credit for an Award to a Person or Company,the Person or Company would have had to receive the Award for their roleor contribution on the project. Things can only have direct Awards.

[0378] The human resource networking system of the present invention canbe used in the Crime system—so called “Crime Links”, wherein the People202 are Criminals, the Places 204 are Crime Scenes, the Projects areCrimes, and the Things include Tools & Weapons.

[0379] Although the data to be collected and reported is different theSystem itself is still the same. The following chart indicates aplurality of applications of the system of the present invention,including Showlinks, First Looks, Peopleads, Crime Links, Study Links,and Health Links, and their potential users. Application The SystemExamples Intended Users Independent Bits** of Showlinks EntertainmentProfessionals, Information Structured in etc. Relations First LooksCasting Agents, Actors, etc. Peopleads Ent. Students, Employers, etc.Crime Links Law Enforcement, etc. Study Links Students, Schools, etc.Health Links Medical Professionals, etc.

[0380] First Looks: is an application that uses the system for theentertainment industry. Other applications may be developed fordiffering industries.

[0381] Study Links, Crime Links, Medical Links, and Applications for anyother industries (Projects are composed of People, Places, and Things)would have different reporting requirements and different information,adjunctly for a different intended user base. Instead of reportinginformation about projects it might report information about crimes,events, etc. The system would still create associations, and overlapsbetween those four main elements.

[0382] The same advantages and disadvantages of the system still applyfor each other application:

[0383] (1) The information related to an element can be updated by theinput from another element (e.g. one element can input data for anotherelement).

[0384] (2) The application can perform inference of missing data basedon the data available.

[0385] (3) Because the information is collected in combinations, itallows searching and reporting in combinations (e.g. give me theleft-handed guitar player who has worked at Soundcastle).

[0386] (4) You have to collect the information from the Projects (orother main information repositories) in order for the verification to becost-effective.

[0387] (5) Information of questionable integrity that slips through theverification can cause costly problems in fixing. Verification isrequired because inputted data affects reports belonging to differentindividuals. After-the-fact corrections may be infeasible.

[0388] Each intended use, or application, uses business methods that aresimilar in nature, however of course the actual details of each step andeach report must be very different because the applications and theusers are different.

[0389] The core system is that Projects are composed of People, Places,and Things in relation to a Point in Time. What is changed is:

[0390] 1. The definitions and groupings of valid values (e.g. Role,Contributions, Group, Solo Artist, Facilites, etc.)

[0391] 2. The attributes (e.g. skills, education, media category,Awards, organizations).

[0392] As the system is used for different applications for differentindustries, we would evaluate the information and relationships needed.For example, Crime Links could track the city jails in relationship tothe federal jails. Organizations could be CIA, FBI, etc. All of this wewould be done upon further detail work.

[0393] Bits are People, Places, Projects, and Things, further defined bytheir attributes, and joined by Valid Associative Values of Roles,Contributions, Utilizations, in relation to a given Point In Time. Thesystem is the back bone of the Showtown Community structure.

[0394] The present invention satisfies an industry need for a singlesource locating and identifying talent tool. Industry professionals willbe surprised by this invention's novel approach in solving thislong-standing need. By being an interactive method for locatingparticular types of workforce talents existing for hire in developingindustry projects in entertainment and other human resource industries,the application is applicable for expanding needs existing in the uniqueproject workforce style of the entertainment industry.

[0395] Additionally, the automatically generated industry career reportswith their conjunctive sentences of industry credits should also be anindustry surprise once discovered. The multimedia report combines thefunction of a resume with the purpose of a press kit. Additionally, thePress Kit generates a novel conjunctive sentence of industry credit thatis automatically uplifted with the input of another's professional inputof relational credits. Another industry first which we expect to find anindustry acceptance.

[0396] However, the most interesting utility our method offers is makingavailable for the entire industry of entertainment the secure mode ofprivate transmissions for negotiations. Which is just the tip of theiceberg of the advantages in using our methods Internet technologicalcapabilities that our inventions offer to the entire industry atcompetitively priced to the existing networking systems used in theindustry.

[0397] In order to further illustrate how the present invention can beembodied to function as a web community's entire infrastructure, anexample of a member (People 202) of a band is used to illustrate how onecan be found by using the Credit Bytes 164 of the human resourcenetworking locator system of the present invention, but in addition howthe People 202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218 infrastructureenables the system to locate other data informational links, such asPress Releases (Showire), E-storefront merchandise (Showtrade), ResearchPolls (ShowChat), and the ability to demonstrate one's style of work orproducts from infomercials whose data is controlled by the People,Places, Projects and Things infrastructure's InfoConsole as accessed onthe site's Mediawalk.

[0398] This example should also indicate how all Showlinks communities'People 202, Places 204, Projects 216 and Things 218 infrastructure isaccessed from those site's POV and also demonstrate that the system ofthe present invention can substitute industry studies for industrycredits, and other project data, as a means to track a particularindustry's Peoples, as in Peopleads first Break: a directory of recentindustry graduates.

[0399] To collect the data, the members of a band input their credits byproviding Credit Data 302. The Credit Data 302 may be a resume, it maybe published material, or it may be a data collection form specificallytailored to the present invention. Note that custom reports arepossible, as not all data collected here is in conjunction (the People,Places, and Things Pages). Different Press Kit Report Modules maydisplay information differently, according to present needs and datacollection feasibility.

[0400] The members of the band input their credits to form the bandcredits which are input from the Credit Data 302 referencing the People202, Places 204, Projects 216, and Things 218.

[0401] First the band members are associated to the band by a PeopleAssociation. This forms the structure of the band which will be used onthe credits that they worked together.

[0402] For each credit, one has to input a Credit Association using saidPeople Association, and any of the following (for each credit):

[0403] (a) a Projects Association including the Project 216 and anyadditional information that is known to complete the ProjectsAssociation (Places to Projects and/or Projects to Projects);

[0404] (b) a Places Association featuring the Facility where the workwas done and any additional information that is known to complete thePlaces Association (Places to Places); and

[0405] (c) a Things Association featuring a Thing that was used at thePlace, and any additional information that is known to complete theThings Association (Things to Things and/or Places to Things).

[0406] The Projects, Places and Things associations which are input willuplift the credits in the Places, Projects, and Things Press Kit Reports554, 580, 600, 612.

[0407] Step 1: Input Credit Bits and Credit Constructs

[0408] (i) The Relational Information 120 is entered into the PeopleInformation Table 104, the Places Information Table 106, the ProjectsInformation Table 108, and the Things Information Table 110.

[0409] (ii) ID numbers are automatically assigned in the sequence ofinput for each Information Table 104, 106, 108, 110.

[0410] (iii) The Associative Values Table is updated with AssociativeValues.

[0411] (iv) The Places ID “104” is a second entry for “103” which willbe used as the parent in the Places Association.

[0412] Elements

[0413] Places: ID 100 (Name=The Abominable, Kind Group, Type=Band)

[0414] Places: ID 101 (Name=NJRIS Records, Kind=Entertainment Company,Type=Distribution)

[0415] Places: ID 102 (Name=Korg, Kind=Manufacturer)

[0416] Places: ID 103 (Name=The Abominable Home Studio, Kind=Facility)

[0417] Places: ID 104 (Name=The Abominable Home Studio,Kind=Entertainment Company)

[0418] Person: ID 100 (First=Jeff, Last=Henderson)

[0419] Person: ID 101 (First=Frank, Last=Wilowski)

[0420] Person: ID 102 (First=Robert, Last=Wiles)

[0421] Project: ID 100 (Name=The Abominable, Type=Album, Genre=Rock &Roll, Category=Music)

[0422] Thing: ID 100 (Name=Korg Triton, Model=LE, Type=Keyboard)

[0423] Associative Values

[0424] Places to Projects (Contribution)=Perform

[0425] Point in Time

[0426] Point in Time=Production

[0427] From the assignment of IDs to the elements, it has created CreditConstructs 199 for each Element where the other Elements and theAssociative Values in these Credit Constructs 199 contain Null Values.

[0428] Step 2: Input Construct to Construct Associations

[0429] Step 2A: Input People Association

[0430] Using the IDs created in step 1; input the People Associationusing Credit Construct 199 to Construct Method. IDs are created for thePeople Association so that they may be used in the Credit Association,for delineation in this example we have started with ID 200 instead ofID 100, though starting with ID 100 would work equally as well.

[0431] These associations will not be used in the Credit Associationbecause the Data was not collected in relation to the Project 216 (thisreport did not require it). Therefore it will create another PeopleAssociation with only the group, which we will use in the CreditAssociation.

[0432] Step 3: Input a Credit Association

[0433] Input the Places Association ID, the Project ID, and the ThingsAssociation ID, with a Point in Time. Also note the associative valueswithin Credit Association.

[0434] The ID 203 is for the People Association, the other ID 100 is forthe Project Association, and the ID 200 is for the Things Association.Normally one would find the Places Association (containing the facility)being used; however this portion was not collected in relation to theproject (in conjunction) so we did not use it here.

[0435] As shown in FIG. 9b, to convert the data into the Credit Bytes164, the data is collected as Credit Data 302. The Credit Bits 102(Elements, Associative Values, and Point In Time) are extracted fromthis Credit Data 102, and input into the Database 100. When it comestime to produce a report, the procedure is followed for extracting thedata (see query matrix rules) which comes out as the Credit Bytes 164.

[0436] The full life cycle of the data is:

[0437] 1. Credit Data 302 (collect)

[0438] 2. Credit Bits 102 (input)

[0439] Request what you're asking for and how you want to see it:

[0440] 3. Credit Constructs 199/Credit Instances 200 (virtual done bythe programming)

[0441] 4. Credit Bytes 164 (output done by the programming)

[0442] 5. Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 600 (reportdone by the programming).

[0443]FIG. 5: Excerpt from New Patent Drawings FIG. 9b

[0444] Regarding how the project requestor (inquiry) works, an inquirymay locate a band member or the band by their associations of People,Projects, Places, and/or Things using the Find People Query Screen 504.There are also Query Screens 504 for Find Places, Find Projects, andFind Things.

[0445] The Press Kit Report 550 may also be located by navigationthrough the associative hyperlink in the Conjunctive Project Sentencesof Credit Construct 600 on those associated Places, Projects, and/orThings Press Kits 552, 578, 590, 610. For example, the Facility that theband worked at has a Press Kit. There is a link on the band's Press Kitto the Facility, and a link from the Facility to the Band. This helpsnetwork the band as they have more hyperlinks with other Press Kits.

[0446] Regarding Press Kit Links, for Supporting Community Features, thePress Kit Reports may also link to add-on services provided by the othercommunity web sites:

[0447] The SHOWiRE Press Release features the press releases controlledby the Press Kit Owner

[0448] The Showchat Research Poll features a research poll conducted bythe Press Kit Owner

[0449] The Showtrade E-storefront features items related to the PressKit being sold by the Press Kit Owner

[0450] The Mediawalk InfoConsole plays all multimedia, includingseparately produced Infomercials for new entertainment releases relatedto the Press Kit.

[0451] For Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct Hyperlinks,Press Kits through Conjunctive Project Sentences of Credit Construct 600are linked therebetween:

[0452] How the system makes credits for People, Places, Projects, andThings

[0453] To enable the system making credits for the People 202, Places204, Projects 216, and Things 218, as the band has input their credits,they have input a People Association, and at least one of the following:

[0454] a Places Association

[0455] a Projects Association

[0456] a Things Association

[0457] These Associations are then tied together by the CreditAssociation. The band's press kit displays the information from thoseassociations. Additionally, the Places, Projects, and Things Press Kits552, 578, 590, 610 (when active) will also display the new information,from their own respective Point of View POV.

[0458] Therefore the system is not actually creating credits, but itdisplaying the inputted credits in the other reports that are associatedaccording to their own POV format.

[0459] To enable the system making credits from data not inputted by aband member, by the same method that the band that inputs their creditsmay uplift the credits of another, some other elements may uplift theband's credits. For example, credits input by the facility where theband worked at will uplift the band members' press kits. Also note thatthe band may not be able to provide all the information to complete aConjunctive Project Sentence of Credit Construct 610. Any missinginformation may potentially be completed by the other elements.

[0460] According to the preferred embodiment, it does not require theuse of an Automated Data Collection and Entry system. Without such asystem, however, one would have to input each step individually (i.e.Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc). With an automated system, one would onlyhave to input the information from Step 1, and the necessarytransactions for Steps 2 and 3 would be completed automatically (i.e.one only has to input the Credit Bits 102 and doesn't have to input theCredit Constructs 199 because they are created automatically accordingto the structure of the data collection and input form). A data inputfor dummies requires no knowledge of what the input needs to be toobtain the desired output.

[0461] Additionally, the use of an Automated Data Collection and Entrysystem would contain a built in method for validating all associations,which may include displaying expanded information for each element of anassociation for proper identification. In addition, an automatic E-mailnotification feature would notify the authorities (see rings ofauthority) which will help validate and verify the associativeinformation in an information system.

[0462] Whether or not an Automated Data Collection and Entry system isused, a Credit Certification Service may also be available which willperform the validate associations process. This service will charge anadditional fee to perform an independent research to validate and verifycredits that are desired by the customer to be certified. Oncecertified, an icon or notation will appear on the press kit report nextto that credit to show that it has been certified.

[0463] According to the present invention, the element searches allowusers to locate industry resources by People, Places, Projects, andThings. A Robocruiter, which is a search agent, is designed to be tiedto these element searches. Robocruiter links, as well as a Robocruitericon, have been placed into the simple search designs demonstrated inour uplifted drawings. The Robocruiter can save a user's element searchcriteria implemented while the user is logged off. It will also providequick access to the saved search criteria while the user is logged on.Users will receive search returns via email, or the next time they login.

[0464] In view of above, the human resource networking system and methodthereof of the present invention can achieve the following distinctivefeatures:

[0465] (1) The human resource networking method is a novel methodestablishing a business system for locating, identifying, promoting andassisting in the employing of career project workers in the non-careerworkforce.

[0466] (2) The present invention allows accessibility by any employerand any person of talent anywhere which also includes their businesssubsidiaries and or managers located throughout the world.

[0467] (3) It is a single industry system for industries ofentertainment the least of which is: music, theater, motion picture,radio, television, multimedia, the web, and other.

[0468] (4) It is a system addressing all industry employment types whichinclude; free lance, independent, contract and employee.

[0469] (5) It is a system useful in the entertainment industry forestablishing specific skills practiced by people which can be matchedwith project developing requirements in the production of music,theater, motion picture, radio, television, multimedia, the web, andother.

[0470] (6) It is a system for all human resource industries with asecure mode of transmission, the least of which is a private e-mail andchannel for networking negotiations.

[0471] (7) It is a system open to those having union and non-unionrelationships. The present invention is a tool for all the industry'spersonnel including those in front of and behind the camera, microphone,stage, cage, phone or desk, in entertainment. With our inventioneveryone is related and everyone is located and identified by theirindustry credits.

[0472] (8) It is a system possessing the ability to be operated byprofessionals with little or no experience. However for those HRspecialists in the head hunting business, this system offers a searchsystem for the advanced, and an ultimate search screen for talent thatare computer geeks asking that most complicated of compound questions.This makes it possible to search for industry personnel possessing themost remote of talents from the most remote places.

[0473] (9) It is a system open to those having management and to thosenot having representation. The present invention addresses the industryneed for a one-source talent point of contact consisting of addresses,phone numbers with a listing of managers and agents. A listing that canbe accessed by the talent enabling said talent to uplift their points ofcontact when needed.

[0474] (10) The present invention provides the industry a Pressume webkit system, a novel multimedia report which combines the purpose ofpress kits with the function of a resume. This is automatically linkedwith other Pressume web kits as well as the press kits for Places,Projects and Things, as used in the development of other industryprojects of entertainment.

[0475] (11) It is to the industry with automatically generatedconjunctive credits of industry sentences. These sentences may beautomatically uplifted with the implementation of associated creditswhen inputted by another member's credits. The automatically generatedweb kit contains conjunctive sentences of industry credits extractedfrom the methods aforementioned elements, which in general report “Who(People type) did What (People function) for Whom (Company owning orproducing product project), Where (places, When (Point In Time), Why(Projects) and How (Things used).”

[0476] (12) The human resource networking system locates, promotes andassists professionals obtain project developing world wide work withpromotional costs competitively averaging a few dollars a month. Thiscoverage is 24 hours day, 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year. This pricealso includes the automatically uplifting of industry credits, whichcontain the conjunctive sentence of industry credits.

[0477] (13) It is a system of flexibility that allows future growth forthose career minded project developing personnel that use the methodscore system of People, Places, Projects and Things core to be expandedfor future project workforce managing like when an employer desires toautomatically monitor the projects work cycle productivity of anemployee in anther state or country connected only by the technologiesof the internet.

[0478] One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of thepresent invention as shown in the drawings and described above isexemplary only and not intended to be limiting.

[0479] It will thus be seen that the objects of the present inventionhave been fully and effectively accomplished.
